Guests ut English Hotels,

There is more personal attention paid

But as it is service chiefly directed
against tho pnckctbool,, of the guests it
soon becomes very annoying At all of
tho leading hotels of London tllcro is a
uniformed porter at the door. If there
arc ono or two inside doors yo,, will find
porter in uniform at each one of these.
At the elevator often stands u porter in
the uniform Of u chasseur. You will
find at overy turn and bend in any great
London hotel Il gayly uniformed servant
ready to step across your path and insist
upon helping you in tho most trivial way,
but expecting always in return for each
act q sixwnce. The very way that u
porter bows to q man as he leaves tho
house is suggestive of tho sixERnce. All
OF this show and attention has not the
slightest semblanco of hospitality.
Tho English people as Il class do not
live in hotels. Every Englishman, how
ever poor, keeps house. They arc very
fond Of shutting themselves up behind
regular forts of walls. Since tho sunny

The l;uic as to Narcotics.

The rule never to give opium in any
form for any affection that is OF long
duration should never be forgotten by
physicians. Headaches, neuralgia and
the liko Diseases, which are likely to re-
turn frequently, should not he treated
with opium, la,,danum, morphine, chlo-
rOlync or other preparation Of this drug,
unless all other methods fail. Physicians
arc too often cri,ninally careless in this
regard. The mental. moral and physical
wrecks, the grand army Of which is con-
ST. atly on the increase, can most Of them
tn'c their ruin to some careless, lazy or
in' .mpetent physician. What is above
written applies with even greater force to
IT, use Of the hypulcrnic syringe. The
physician who places this seductive and
,wcrful instrument in tho hands Of his
=. .ticnt, to m used ut tho latter's tliscrc-
tion, is guilty of a wrong compared with
hich highway robbery is 4 matter too
trivial for notice.
In cases Of advanced and incurablc
cancer or any excr,lciatingly painful
disease, in which death alone offers re-
lief, tho opium habit is certainly to be
justified, and the hypolerrnic syringe
with u morphine solution may be placed
in tho hands Of Il suitable person for use
in tho absence Of the physician. In all
Ot' cases; such discretion should never
boj "lstcd to an unframed Individual
M yer in tho hands of the patient. Like
y IL, alcohol is an annsthetic and ex-
erta n powerful fascination when it is
frequently used. Like it, also, it is
most valuable remedy in disease, cspe-
cially in tI'nn tending toward fatal
termination by rapid exhaustion and fail
urc Of the heart to keep up to its work.
These diseases are characterized by high
fever, rapid, fccblo pulse and prostration
Of muscular strength. which comes on
with comparative suddenness. Such are
typhus and typhoid fevers, pneumonia,

Why don't those journals that

This is free country, and no per-

Apropos the pending gubernatorial
election. few reflections on the

this indecision seems to he the un.
willingness of men to he found on

keep cool until the strength of the
proposed candidates is fully develop

strong side. To put it in plain
terms, it is the most arrant
moral cowardicc. This state of

and has contributed more towards
